Sažetak
The paper considers the question whether artificial intelligence-based diagnostic systems (AIBDS) pose a threat to patient autonomy as one of the central principles of biomedical ethics. The first part of the paper explains what AIBDS are and how they work, with an emphasis on machine learning technology and its property of non-transparency. The second part of the paper presents several paradigmatic views on AIBDS as a threat to patient autonomy, with reference to the standard analysis according to which this autonomy includes (at least) three components: intentionality, freedom from constraints and understanding. In the third part of the paper, the arguments pro et contra of the thesis about AIBDS as a threat to autonomy are considered from the perspective of patients, while in the fourth part of the paper they are considered from the perspective of physicians. The paper shows how complex the discussion of these issues can be and what argumentative tools can be made available to opposing parties.
